Book excerpt: Volume I of a three-volume setWilliam Painter's Palace of Pleasure is justly considered one of the most important and influential books in all English literature. It gave the world the first English translation of some of the best tales from the Decameron, the Heptameron, Bandello, Cinthio, Straparola and classical sources. It was partly due to this and similar collections that so many Elizabethan dramas used Italian settings, and because of the flood of Italian novelle introduced into England by Painter and his school the whole course of English drama was altered, departing radically from classical tradition.Together with North's Plutarch and Holinshed's Chronicles, Painter's Palace was the main source of Shakespeare's plots: Romeo and Juliet, All's Well That Ends Well, and Timan of Athens are all in its debt. It was ransacked by almost all of the great masters of Elizabethan drama, contributing the plots of Webster's Duchess of Malfi and Appius and Virginia, and of works by Beaumont and Fletcher, Massinger, Marston, Shirley, and many others. Indeed, as the Cambridge History of English Literature sums it up, "it would be difficult to find a plot that has not had its origin, or its counterpart, in Painter's treasure-house."In addition to the stories, biographical and bibliographical material is included from Haslewood's 1813 edition as it is an annotated table of contents, which lists for each work the source (where Painter probably obtained the tale), the origin (earliest appearance in literature), and parallel and derivative works. Painter's Palace of Pleasure is exactly what its name implies - a potpourri that any general reader will surely enjoy. There is, of course, an added value in the work for English majors, students of Elizabethan drama, and other readers with a special interest in English literature.

Download or read book The Devil s Pleasure Palace written by Michael Walsh and published by Encounter Books. This book was released on 2017-05-23 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the aftermath of World War II, America stood alone as the world’s premier military power. Yet its martial confidence contrasted vividly with its sense of cultural inferiority. Still looking to a defeated and dispirited Europe for intellectual and artistic guidance, the burgeoning transnational elite in New York and Washington embraced not only the war’s refugees, but many of their ideas as well, and nothing has proven more pernicious than those of the Frankfurt School and its reactionary philosophy of “critical theory.” In The Devil's Pleasure Palace, Michael Walsh describes how Critical Theory released a horde of demons into the American psyche. When everything could be questioned, nothing could be real, and the muscular, confident empiricism that had just won the war gave way, in less than a generation, to a central-European nihilism celebrated on college campuses across the United States. Seizing the high ground of academe and the arts, the New Nihilists set about dissolving the bedrock of the country, from patriotism to marriage to the family to military service. They have sown, as Cardinal Bergoglio—now Pope Francis—once wrote of the Devil, “destruction, division, hatred, and calumny,” and all disguised as the search for truth. The Devil's Pleasure Palace exposes the overlooked movement that is Critical Theory and explains how it took root in America and, once established and gestated, how it has affected nearly every aspect of American life and society.
Download or read book Palaces of Pleasure written by Lee Jackson and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-25 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An energetic and exhilarating account of the Victorian entertainment industry, its extraordinary success and enduring impact The Victorians invented mass entertainment. As the nineteenth century’s growing industrialized class acquired the funds and the free time to pursue leisure activities, their every whim was satisfied by entrepreneurs building new venues for popular amusement. Contrary to their reputation as dour, buttoned-up prudes, the Victorians reveled in these newly created ‘palaces of pleasure’. In this vivid, captivating book, Lee Jackson charts the rise of well-known institutions such as gin palaces, music halls, seaside resorts and football clubs, as well as the more peculiar attractions of the pleasure garden and international exposition, ranging from parachuting monkeys and human zoos to theme park thrill rides. He explores how vibrant mass entertainment came to dominate leisure time and how the attempts of religious groups and secular improvers to curb ‘immorality’ in the pub, variety theater and dance hall faltered in the face of commercial success. The Victorians’ unbounded love of leisure created a nationally significant and influential economic force: the modern entertainment industry.
